Application filed October 51907.' Serial No. 3964318.

To all whom it may concern.'

Beit known that l, JULiUs CnnrN, a citizen of the United States,residing at the borough oi' Manhattan, in the city of New York, in the'county of New York and State of New York, `have invented certain newand useful linprovements in Toy Drums, oi which the following is aspecification..

y invention relates to improvements in toys, and the object of my deviceis to provide a simple and instructive toy. I attain this object by thedevice illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which .Figure l is aview of the device complete. Fig. 2 is a sectional View and F ig. 3 is aView of the diaphragm'.

Similar letters reifer tov` throughout the several views.

A strip of sheet metal b having its ends bron ht 1together in acylindrical form is provided with bent over edge sections b b2. A striplof card-board or other non-resonant substance d is placed within theband b. The diaphragm e having its edge section e1 bent downwardly andits extreme edge section e2 bent outwardly, is placed within the band b;and a 'cylindrical band c having one edge section al inserted beneathdia hragm e within the bent over edge section b1 of the band t is heldin place by pressure applied in the usual manner to the surrounding edgesection of the band t. A similar cylindrical strip c with its cardboardmember fand a diaphra '1n g is secured in like manner to the other e geof the cylindrical strip a. I insert similar parts vand the bends b yand a disk-shaped the strips oli cardboard or similar substance Withinthe bands b and@ as l find that the metallic sound otherwise presentthus avoided and the parts are held more securely.

.The parts being thus assembled, the diaphragme and g will forni withthe cylinder c and c a toy drum which is very strong and durable'.Lacing of any suitable material may be inserted in suitable apertures inthe bands b and c to resemble the usual form of drum lacing. Having thusdescribed niv invention, what l claim is:

In a drum combined with a cylindiical body having an annular edgesection extending outwardly, an annular band having its edge portionsoverturned on the inner side thereof," anon resonant band lying inContact with the inner face of said first named band and held bysaidoverturned edge portions set outwardly extending edge portion lyin inContact with the inner face of one of sai( overturned edge portions, theedge section of said body being hel-d between said last named overturnededge portion and said diaphragm. ln testimony whereof, l have signed myname to this specification in the presence of .two subscribingwitnesses, this third day of October'1907.
